00:00President Donald Trump said Thursday that he doubts he would make it into heaven, continuing

00:03a series of public remarks he has made in recent months about the afterlife.

00:07Speaking to a crowd in Georgia, the 79-year-old said he often jokes about the subject and

00:11suggested that members of the press interpret his comments literally.

00:14He referenced prior statements in which he questioned his own chances of entering heaven

00:18and said those earlier remarks were made in jest.

00:21I was having fun, Trump said.

00:23I hope to make it.

00:24But I doubt I will, to be honest with you.

00:26A lot of you will.

00:27I'm not so sure.

00:28The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Beast.

00:33Trump first began publicly discussing heaven last summer, shortly after the White House

00:37announced he had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition that can

00:41affect blood flow from the lower extremities to the heart and may result in swelling.

00:45The condition has been cited by the White House in response to questions about visible swelling

00:49in Trump's ankles.

00:50Officials have also attributed bruising on his right hand to frequent handshaking and aspirin

00:54use.

00:55In October, Trump underwent an MRI, and he has repeatedly stated that he has performed

00:59well on cognitive assessments.

01:01Last August, during an interview with Fox News, Trump linked his comments about heaven to his

01:05pledge to end Russia's war in Ukraine.

01:07He said that if he could help reduce casualties in the conflict, it would be a meaningful accomplishment.

01:11If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that's a pretty.

01:16I want to try and get to heaven if possible, Trump said at the time.

01:19He added that he had heard criticism suggesting he was at the bottom of the totem pole and

01:24said that resolving the conflict could be the one reason to improve his standing.

01:27Trump's political fundraising operation also referenced his comments about heaven in an

01:31email sent by his super PAC last summer.
